MicroStation's Workspace default location

Problem Description

Reason

Different versions of MicroStation can have different default Workspace installation folders and these also change with the version of Windows in use.

Steps to Resolve

MicroStation V7/J and V8 versions:

MicroStation V7 or /J and v8 will by default install its Workspace in the "Workspace" subfolder of the chosen program installation folder.

If MicroStation default installation folder is not changed, the Workspace location will be:

1. Windows XP/Vista/7/8 32 bits:

"C:\Program Files\Bentley\Workspace"

2. Windows XP/Vista/7/8 64 bits:

"C:\Program Files(x86)\Bentley\Workspace"

MicroStation XM, V8i and (Select Series x)

Microstation XM, V8i and (Select Series x) behave differently from the pre-XM versions as their Workspace default installation folder depends on the version of Windows in use but not on its "bit-ness" (32 vs. 64 bits)
